My daughter is 6 (49 lbs.) and is working on back walkovers. Space is an issue for us and I'm wondering if the small wedge would work? Any thoughts?

If she is tall it might not.... But it is smaller and less expensive. However, you will want to be with her At ALL times when using the mat because it is not stable and will flip over. I bought it for my 2 year old who she first started gymnastics... She is almost 4 now and weighs 40lbs. The mat is really made to attach to another mat for security... But it has been a wonderful way for my daughter to practice skills at home. I would recommend it.

I think that maybe a child that big would need a more sturdy chair with more height to the back. My 15 month old grand-daughter hits her head on the back bar. This is a great inexpensive option but everyone in the family has tripped over the back legs because they stick out so far.

I had limited space and it did not work for me. I believe an inch is too little. It will clip but it will rock back towards your child as soon as any pressure is applied to the edge.

Wish I could answer this one, but you should ask a coach what the height should be based on the size of your daughter. Then you can take the maximum height of the bar and I guess maybe add 1/2 your daughters height and add a few inches to be sure and see if it would work. Sorry.

I beleve it would be small for her. My grandchildren are turning 2 this week. They flip the back part down and climb on top of it.

It is possible. My daughter is on the small side, and when she hangs on the bar the back legs sometimes lift up. It is not meant to be used that way.

Our daughter is a tall 28 months old and the bench is perfect. I would not purchase this new for a six year old because it is a small bench and at that age, with friends sitting with her, I'd want more room for them. Your daughter would fit, but it would probably be tight space with other children on it and she will quickly outgrow this bench. Additionally, the space for drawing, etc, is fine for a small project or coloring, but it doesn't have room to space things out. Also, the bench is not heavy, in fact, it is very light (my daughter can easily move it) and an older, taller child might find it a little less secure getting in and out of the bench.

I would say no. My 7 mo old is on the talk side weighing almost 19lbs. And while she does still sit in it, she prefers the side to side motion vs the the front to back and her legs hit the rail. I just wouldn't invest in it this late in her growth. Was awesome from newborn up.

I'm 6'1" and 350 lbs. Not a bad wedge but I need to find a bigger one, all around. I like the wedge to start just at my lower back and it is too short for me. So I have to put a pillow vertical between the wall/headboard and the wedge and then rest a bed pillow on that to hold up my head. Also I found that the pillow flattens too much for me, so I have ended up putting a pillow under the wedge to make it incline a little more. Lastly, it is not wide enough to support my arms as much as I would like. I'm now thinking about buying the Avana Slant Bed Wedge or maybe other brands I have found. I'm 6'1" and 350 lbs.

I'm 5'5 but I'd have to say yes because it's not very wide at all. I was surprised something so small could actually help but it does. It's not tall in the back at all.

It worked great for my 6 year old. The 20" was definitely to big for her. She is on the smaller side just so you know.

My wife is 5'6(130lb) and it works great. Im 6'1 (190lb) and its great for me too. Its a little heavy/awkward for a smaller lady to carry but can be done. At 5'3 she might be able to go with a shorter/smaller board too. They are great boards though.

I have the same problem. I am an "hourglass" shaped woman, 147 lbs, and my butt and legs spill over the edges of the Backjoy posture relief, which doesn't allow me to use it properly. Did you find something that does work for you? I like the concept and think it could help... at a larger size!

My husband and I are both a bit shorter and 100# lighter, but honestly, it is so firm, I would give it a try. Its pretty darned firm. The wedge is really solid foam and then the top of the foam wedge is a 1" layer of softer foam, which makes it more comfortable and can fit our bodies better. I like it so much and I would guess it will be just fine for you. At any rate, there's a good chance it will make you happy and if it doesn't, return it. Amazon is great for that. Its worth the gamble and I suspect you will be on the winning side. Good luck!

my daughter is doing front hip circles and kips. we have found it to be sturdy so far with only a mat underneath. so far she has been able to do all of her skills and some of the ones she is leanring for the level 4 and 5 routine. my daughter is 8.

If she is not having to lift it I would say it would be fine for her. It isn't super heavy but it is awkward. We have found that slipping the foot rests off helps. It rolls well and the seat could use some more padding, but a memory foam type cushion works well in the one we bought my dad. The 16" width fits easily through most doors.

We have not had any issues with the trampoline popping up in the back. It works great for our daughter who is 2 1/2.
